Recalled Milk Sold to Students in China: State Media

From AFP:

Dairy products that were recalled in southern China to be tested for the deadly chemical melamine were instead dumped at universities and sold to students at a discount, state media reported Thursday.

The milk products were sold in supermarkets and student dormitories in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, the Xinhua news agency said, citing a local newspaper.

In one university supermarket, bulk boxes of Mengniu milk and Yili yogurt — both suspected brands — were sold for less than 20 yuan (2.90 dollars), or about half the original price, the report said.
